Monday, Monday

This morning the girls and I put up a few posters in their room. We sat in the floor and had school time with the posters. One is the alphabet, one is number 1-10, one is colors, the last is shapes. Alex knows her colors pretty well (brown & black are sometimes confusing) but Emma still needs work. It's great that Alex can help Emma with it. The shapes poster has the typical shapes (that Alex knows) but also has an octagon. We've never really talked about that before. Tomorrow when we get out I will try to point out stop signs for her. Emma knows circle and triangle (and sometimes square) but the rest are a work in progress. Again, Alex likes to help Emma. With the alphabet poster we sang the ABC's and went through one by one pointing out the letter and saying it and thinking of things that start with that letter. The numbers poster lists numerals 1-10 and beside each number are the correct number of a certain object. So, we counted the objects together and pointed out the numerals. After time with the posters we sat in the floor and the girls practiced with the lacing cards. Emma coordination is getting much better and Alex still works very hard and gets the job done.
This afternoon Alex has PT & Emma had OT. Then we played on the playground at the school for about half and hour. Before going home we went to the grocery store and I let Alex & Emma push one of the little kid carts and be in charge. The girls loved it.
